Chapter 279 Sending troops

"Brother, otherwise I will let me lead the troops. With me staring in front, these people don't dare to cheat or cheat again." Mingyu thought for a while, and then asked for an order to lead the troops.

"Forget it, you are my brother and my last reliance. I will not let you go out unless it is absolutely necessary. There are so many generals in the court, so why do you have to lead the troops?" The emperor rejected Mingyu's proposal. The emperor had no idea of ​​being prepared for Mingyu. He just didn't think that his only brother was in danger.

"Besides, isn't Jingxian again? Are you willing to let her be in the capital and wait for delivery with fear? Mingyu, stay in the capital well, accompany Jingxian and me." The emperor looked at this younger brother and remembered his mother's instructions when she passed away. At that time, the only request of his mother was to let him take good care of Mingyu.

Logically speaking, Mingyu had already started a family and had a throne, so he should go to the fiefdom instead of staying in the capital. However, the emperor was reluctant to leave his younger brother, so he made an exception to leave Mingyu and let him live in the capital.

When the emperor heard Jingxian mention Jingxian, Mingyu's passion disappeared without a trace. "Since the emperor said that, I should stay at home with Jingxian. Jingxian has a very hard time and vomits all day long, and I feel uncomfortable when I see it." Mingyu couldn't help but smile silly.

Seeing Mingyu's appearance, the emperor couldn't help laughing, "You, you're really fascinated by Jingxian." Even though the emperor was in a bad mood at this moment, he still felt a little funny.

"Emperor brother, I am willing to share my worries with my brother. If the situation on the battlefield is wrong, please don't be scruples and let me lead my troops to fight." Mingyu said.

The emperor nodded, "There are many talented people in the court. For the time being, it's just a few cities. The situation is still under control, it's okay."

On the morning court the next day, the emperor issued an order to remove Fan Yunlong from his position as the marshal of the Northwest. He sent Mo Yongcheng, who had returned to Beijing to cultivate last year, to the Northwest again.

Now, the people of the Mo family were happy. At that time, Mo Yongcheng was ordered to return to Beijing to cultivate, and the Mo family knew that the emperor was determined to weaken the military power in the hands of the Mo family. Unexpectedly, when the Northern Yuan Kingdom invaded, the Mo family still had to come forward.

Mo Yongcheng took his three sons from the capital. Before leaving, he said to Mo Yongan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, "Don't worry, when you go to the northwest this time, your younger brother will definitely expel the Tartars of the Northern Yuan Kingdom. Hongtao and other brothers will also make achievements and be named marquis. As long as the fourth girl gave birth to a prince in the next day, the wealth of our Mo family will be just around the corner."

Mo Yongcheng's second daughter was selected into the palace two years ago and became a concubine. Because she ranked fourth in the Mo family, she called her fourth girl. The Mo family had daughters in the palace for two generations, which could be considered as prominent in the hall. If the fourth girl of the Mo family really gave birth to the imperial heir in the future, then with their military power in hand to fight for the children to ascend the throne, the Mo family would be the emperor's foreign family.

Mo Yongan understood in his heart that the emperor asked the fourth girl to enter the palace just to exchange for Mo Yongcheng's military power. But unexpectedly, the Northern Yuan Kingdom was coming to attack at this time, and the emperor had no choice but to let Mo Yongcheng take charge again. Their Mo family is not comparable to those who are officials pointing to the pen. In this world, there are no literati but they are indispensable. At this moment, Mo Yongan felt extremely proud.

"Brother, you must be careful when you go to the battle this time. Don't rush to make achievements. Everything is based on stability. Hongtao and the others are still young, and the matter of being a marquis can be temporarily suspended. But you must save your lives to prosper our Mo family." Mo Yongan instructed.

Mo Yongcheng is not a fool. He can understand some of his brother's words. "Okay, my brother will leave you with me." Mo Yongcheng took his son and left.

After he couldn't see his younger brother's figure, Mo Yongan turned around and replied. "Second, your elder brother is now guarding the Northeast? Write a letter to your elder brother to pay attention to him. The people from the Northern Yuan Kingdom are very cunning and should prevent them from attacking them."

Mo Hongyuan, the second son behind Mo Yongan, quickly agreed, "Dad, don't worry, son will go now."

When Mo Hongyuan was writing a letter, his younger brother Mo Hongfang came to his side, "Second brother, I remember that Princess Ning'an and her husband were also in the Northeast, right? It seems that they are still in a place close to the Northern Yuan Kingdom. If you write to your elder brother, take good care of the couple when he has the chance, and let them be arrogant again." Mo Hongfang said viciously.

"Okay, that's it. We have to make them pay back twice the grievances that the third sister suffered at the beginning." Mo Hongyuan also had the same expression and tone. The Mo family had the same temperament.

The two brothers looked at each other and imagined the miserable fate of Lin Zixuan and Xu Jinghan in their minds, and then the two brothers laughed.

Jinghan, who was far away in Xizhou, once again called all the officials to discuss the war between the two countries. "I invite everyone to discuss the current situation this time. The Northern Yuan Dynasty captured five cities in our Daqi on the ninth day of April, and the two countries have officially started the war."

"Although we are located in the northeast and are still far from the battlefield. However, Xizhou is a very important position at the junction of the two countries. If the Northern Yuan Kingdom sends troops to attack this side, it can occupy the entire Northeast through Xizhou and then threaten the capital. So we have to start preparing. Not only the magistrates must be careful at all times, but we must also prepare some things." Jinghan sat in the middle of the hall, facing these managers and explained his excellence to them.

"From now on, the winery stops producing wine and all the food is reserved. In addition, it is the time for spring plowing. Our farms are planted with grain, especially high-yield grains. Crops such as tobacco, mung beans, sesame, watermelon, etc. will all be stopped from today. If the war starts, food will be a shortage, and it can also save lives after planting food. For those cash crops, let's forget about it for the time being." Jinghan was also helpless. The current situation is not the time to make money.

"Everyone, it's not that I don't let everyone make money. If Xizhou cannot be saved and everyone has no life, what's the use of asking for money? At this time, we have to work together to fight against foreign enemies first. As long as our Daqi can defeat the enemy of the Northern Yuan Kingdom, there will be a chance to make money in the future." Jinghan said loudly.

"Mrs. This is a great thing. We must do what the wife said. Madam is right. If Xizhou is gone, what is the use of us earning more money? Isn't it prepared for the Tartars in the Northern Yuan Dynasty?" An Fu stood up and was the first to echo.

Anfu is the manager of the winery and the old man around Jinghan. Among these managers, he is also quite prestigious. As soon as he stood up, Changshun, Chang'an, Changxing, Changwang, and others who were originally around Jinghan stood up and unanimously agreed with Jinghan's approach.

The remaining officials were all locals in Xizhou. They had experienced the suffering of war in their early years, so they had a deep understanding of this. "Madam, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate with the state government and defend our own home." Everyone said in unison.

Next, Jinghan arranged everything that everyone had to do next. Of course, the first priority was to plant the land first. Food is the most important thing for the people. Whether it is peace or war, people have to eat, and if they don’t eat, they can’t do anything. So this food is the top priority.

Now no one knows when the war will spread here. Perhaps the imperial army can quickly drive away the invasion of the Northern Yuan Kingdom, or it may take a long time, which no one can predict. But no one can predict it. However, this food is a necessary item. Before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. As long as there is enough food, they can gain an advantage in the war. Now they do not know how long the war will take, so they must ensure the supply of food.

Generally speaking, it takes more than four months to grow grain from planting to harvest. As long as there is nothing wrong in Xizhou in these four months, the grain they planted will become a guarantee for the future. Therefore, the primary task now is to farm quickly.

"Everyone, the current situation is not optimistic. We must not be lucky enough to think that the Northern Yuan Kingdom will not attack this side. Even if we really can't attack this side, we have to stay alert." Jinghan emphasized again, and then let all these people go back.

After all the managers left, Jinghan beat her waist and then went back to the house to rest for a while.

In the evening, Zixuan came back. Zixuan was also busy everywhere. It was the season of spring plowing, and the people were busy in the fields. Regarding the importance of food, Zixuan and his wife had ambitions, so Zixuan sent someone to notify the following counties to ensure the progress of spring plowing.

This year, all the land in Xizhou was planted with grain, and the rest of the crops were replaced. The people of Xizhou still admire Zixuan, the governor, and everyone was willing to obey what Zixuan said. So these things went smoothly.

"Madam, did I hear you asked someone to stop the winery and other things?" Zixuan entered the house and saw Jinghan sewing small clothes for the child. He reached out and hugged Jinghan and put the needle and thread in Jinghan's hand aside. "Don't do this for the night, be careful of your eyes. You are still pregnant, don't be too tired. This child is really bad when he comes. If this fight really starts, what should you do? Otherwise, I will send someone to send you home? After all, it's far away, and for a while, there is nothing to do. When you go back, I can feel relieved." Zixuan was really a little worried about Jinghan.
